Mumbai, July 2 : Actor-turned-producer
Dino Morea
says his forthcoming "
Jism 2" is an A-movie and he will launch its
television promos Tuesday. The content will be a toned down as compared
to the bold online version.
"The TV promos will be censored. We
do respect the censor board. What we can't release on TV, we are
releasing online. With TV you don't have a choice, but when you will go
to see the film, you do have a choice to buy your tickets," Dino, who is
co-producing the film with
Pooja Bhatt's Fish Eye Network, told IANS.
"Yes,
it is an A-film. We have asked for an A-certificate. The film is in the
post production stage right now. The first promo of '
Jism 2' will be
released on TV from tomorrow (Tuesday), a censored version. We are
planning to release our first trailer with either 'Bol Bachchan' or
'Cocktail'," he added.
Directed by Pooja Bhatt, "
Jism 2", a
sequel to 2003 release "Jism", has Randeep Hood, Arunoday Singh and
Sunny Leone in the cast and it is expected to scorch the screens with
its steamy content when it hits screens Aug 3.
The first time producer Dino claims the response to online promos has been phenomenal.
"We
released our first promo online on Friday and second promo just today
(Monday) afternoon. We crossed million hits in 36 hours. The reviews are
phenomenal so far."
Always keen to try his hands in production, Dino approached Pooja, who directed him in "Holiday".
"Pooja
and I share a very good relationship...I always wanted to get into
production. So I asked Pooja if I could co-produce '
Jism 2' with her.
She happily agreed and that is how it happened," the 37-year-old said.
Mahesh Bhatt, writer of "
Jism 2", feels the censored version for TV was necessary to meet the standards set by the censor board.
"Whenever
we release any promos on TV, we need to meet the requirement of U/A
certificate by the censor board. You have to alter your promos to meet
the standards set by the censor board for TV. But there is no conflict
on this."
"So, basically the uncensored version will go online
and a toned down, censored or acceptable version for all age (group)
will go on TV. This is our double barrel market planning," he added.
